Clockwork Empires Coming to Steam, New Screens Available

Join the Colonies for Queen & Country, for Glory and Profit, and for the Clockwork Empires

Releasing these fresh pics, Gaslamp Games, creators of Dungeons of Dredmor, announced that Clockwork Empires, a narrative-driven colony building sandbox game developed for PC, Mac and Linux, will be available via Steam Early Access on August 15th. Clockwork Empires transports players into a steampunk dystopia, where players take on the role of a Junior Bureaucrat (Colonial Grade) sent forth by the Empire to seek fame, promotions, and natural resources to feed the ever-hungry maw of industry and commerce. You will build mighty colonies populated by foppish aristocrats, ambitious middle-class artisans and clerks, and the toiling lower-classes who labor in your magnificent factories, scientific laboratories, lavishly decorated houses, farms, cathedrals, pubs and more! But be careful - every character in your society has its own personality, motivation, and (sometimes deadly) secrets. Clockwork Empires encourages its players to link together the mighty gears of ominous colonial megaprojects either via singleplayer, a multiplayer mode with up to four players, or via a turn-based 'round robin' successive multiplayer saved-game file option. Powerful Sharing Technology provides the ability to upload their creations directly to the Heliographic Aether, allowing other Bureaucrats to further diverge histories and continue building and expanding those colonies.
